Ruler was known for dressing like a man and wearing a false beard
The mummy of an obese woman, who likely suffered from diabetes and liver cancer, has been identified as that of Queen Hatshepsut, Egypt's most powerful female pharoah
Sheba was in fact identical with Queen Hatshepsut of Egypt
Hatshepsut: After the death of her father, Tuthmosis, Hatshepsut followed royal custom and married her half brother, Tuthmosis II. When Tuthmosis II died, the throne passed to his son by a minor wife. Because the new pharaoh (Tuthmosis III) was very young, Hatshepsut became regent. Several years later, Hatshepsut declared herself "king" and began wearing the false beard and garments of a pharaoh.
Cleopatra: Cleopatra came from the Greek Ptolemy family that had ruled Egypt for 300 years. Cleopatra's father died when she was 18 years old. To continue the dynasty she married her younger brother and they began a joint rule; however, they hated each other, and fighting broke out between them. The great Roman general, Julius Caesar, helped her take the throne.

Queen Hatshepsut was one of the most successful female pharaohs in ancient Egypt. She ruled during the 18th dynasty and reigned from 1479 BC to 1458 BC.
The "Queen Hatshepsut Program Tonight" was a special program aired on Discovery Channel that focused on the life and achievements of Queen Hatshepsut, exploring her reign and legacy as a powerful female ruler in ancient Egypt.
Queen Hatshepsut is considered an important figure in history because she was one of the few female pharaohs who successfully ruled over Egypt. She was also known for her ambitious building projects and trade expeditions, which expanded Egypt's wealth and power.
Viewers can expect to learn about Queen Hatshepsut's life, reign, and accomplishments through archaeological evidence, expert interviews, and reconstructions of ancient Egypt. The program also explores the challenges and successes of a female ruler in a male-dominated society.
Yes, the "Queen Hatshepsut Program Tonight" is suitable for all ages. However, parental guidance is recommended for younger viewers as some content may be more complex and may require prior knowledge of ancient Egyptian history.
